They reflect his short-temper and wit, as well as [[spoiler: his duplicitous and secretive status, both as TheMole in the first book, and then in his role as SecretKeeper to Bianca]].

He's also an uncommon example of a male character with green eyes.

However, as she took the time to undo the clasp properly instead of breaking the chain, she can still wear it when Mrs Bethany returns it to her.

* AxCrazy: Oh, yes.

to:

* AxCrazy: Oh, yes. Her hobbies include murdering people, her extremely unhealthy, love-hate obsession with her brother (which extends to stalking her brother's unrequited love interest and ''her'' love interest, too), chucking people into dried out diving pools for the '[[ForTheEvulz lols]]' and decapitating people with knives. Even ''other vampires'' are terrified of her because of utterly batshit insane she is.

In fairness, there are a lot of students that Bianca and Raquel are probably familiar with but don't mention every single one, though it does stand out a bit due to it clearly indicating Skye is going to be an important character in this book.
